Nach ein paar Wochen mit alternativen #Suchmaschinen und #Browsern haben sich bei mir die Kombi aus #Ecosia Suchmaschine mit #Vivaldi Browser durchgesetzt. Im Zweifelsfall kommt auch mal DuckDuckGo zum Einsatz.
Google nutze ich nicht mehr und mir fehlt auch nichts.
Natürlich sind Shopping-Apps und Rabattkartenapps böse. Viel Plastik passt nicht in die Geldbörse. Google #Wallet oder Apple Pay verbieten sich.
Auch wenn ich nur empfehlen kann die Bezahl-App der eigenen Bank zu nutzen und auf Rabattkarten zu verzichten, ist im Zweifelsfalle #Klarna eine NFC Bezahllösung.
Die Rabatt-Barcodes sammle ich im OSS Kartenetui (zu finden in F-Droid).
is there a european artstation alternative (preferably one that also allows uploading photography)?
"The European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud" aims to foster the development and deployment of next generation edge and cloud technologies." The Alliance brings together businesses, Member States representatives and experts. "The work of the Alliance is facilitated by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology #DGConnect."
A new thematic roadmap was released on 8 July 2025. This 68-page document proposes and details an action plan to position open source software as a pillar of the Union's strategy for strengthening its technological autonomy vis-à-vis non-European players.
The report starts by noting Europe's dependence in the cloud, edge and IoT sectors, and proposes 70 actions to try to remedy the situation. The most significant measures include:
• the introduction of a public procurement policy that systematically favours European open source solutions,
• the creation of a dedicated funding vehicle for critical projects,
• the application of open interoperability standards to counter vendor lock-in.

Hey #fediverse,
I’m looking for a Non-US alternative to Google #Analytics. Anyone tried any? I’m looking for something that’s free as I’m only tracking a single-page website. The #EuropeanAlternatives site lists several, but I’m not sure what would be best. Counter.dev looks interesting as it’s free and open-source, but I don’t know how active the development is.
Recommendations gratefully received! Thanks!
Alexandre Roure of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, whose members include many Big Tech groups, says the debate about blunt market access restrictions for non-EU tech companies “only distracts policymakers from the real task: finally delivering a functioning digital single market with clear, simple and practical rules”.
In private conversations, several Big Tech lobbyists and executives also express confidence in their ability to continue dominating the European market given the paucity of homegrown alternatives and the lack of urgency among many consumers.

Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/stripe
I see others like these but many of them have U.S. headquarters. https://tipalti.com/resources/learn/stripe-competitors-and-alternatives/
edit/added couple more tags for visibility.

Hey Mastodon folks, I'm looking for a (preferably European) alternative to Google Photos. Mainly cloud backup from my phone (Android) and organization, maybe some private photo/album sharing, but not an image-based social media app as such. Free or reasonably priced. Any recommendations? #photobackup #europeanalternatives #recommendations
Face recognition is almost here — and it’s built the zeitkapsl way:
Find and group photos by people
Fully end-to-end encrypted
No cloud processing, no leaks
Sorry it takes a bit longer we expected, but it's worth the wait.
Here’s a first look at what’s coming.

The first US #scientists for “scientific asylum” arrived in #France: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/jul/05/academics-leaving-us-scientific-asylum-france-trump
Others leave for #Canada and #China.
And they all fear for their families and deportation in their home country. "Some declined to speak to the media, while others asked that their full names not be used, offering a hint of how the Trump administration’s actions are sowing anxiety among academics."
Now, here we go. The #DutchCloudCommunity #conference about #Dutch and #European #AI solutions has started.
Why is the #DCC (dammit, same abbreviation as the cheerleaders, but those are also welcome here) not on Mastodon anyways?
Todas as notificações geradas pelo SENDOP, a partir deste mês de julho, são enviadas de dentro da União Europeia.
Esta mudança insere-se no esforço para garantir que toda a infraestrutura usada se encontra na união. Ainda faltam alguns componentes, mas estamos quase lá.
@pixelunion PixelUnion made good also on the third of the three promises they made to me: they posted a guide to transferring photos from Google Photos to their hosted Immich solution. I'll use immich-go to migrate my photo library over the next weeks.
